Nice. Can you remove the starter to see how it is connected with the motor. I'm wondering if I could put it on some other machines, PBRK 700 for example, if I order it as a spare part.
Yeah, I was disappointed with the switch position after I bought it. I don't even use the electric start, but I still think it is good for accessibility. I have relative who want to use it, but can't start it the normal way. You could just remove the battery after start to mitigate vibration damage for longer continuous usage. For more frequent cycling, I plane to modify the wiring harness and add a secondary momentary switch on the handle, just working out how to do it in a warranty friendly way...
Battery starter is a cool feature, probably they made it as add on for already set up production line so everything is packed in the back. Good idea, it remains to be seen if it is reliable, using an old 20V battery mitigates the risk of damage. I still us a 15 years old Parkside 43cc trimmer, usually 10-20 hours per year and still going pretty strong after all this time.
I would start it with the battery and then remove it. I dont know much about these tools and if the motor stalls easily. Otherwise it looks like a good machine.
I think this is one of the tools I would never buy. Love parkside but I don’t really understand why I would carry extra weight for hours just for an easier start.
I love parkside warranty ,i am currently on 3rd rotary drill hammer ,they just keep dying and i just keep sending them back.And i still have 2 years warranty.Yea switch and battery placement are made by idiots ,as usually when it comes to parkside it takes just a little bit to be a good tool that you enjoy to use-BUT NOOOOOO, WE DONT DO THAT HERE !!!
Damn, you got me 🤣 Do i need to show every step in that shorts? Maybe it's not even gasoline, maybe it's raw apple juice. You can get even crazier now 😉
Everybody's a comedian. Your gasoline was clear so unless you're using clear 2 stroke oil or this is a 4 stroke and you left that part out, you just demoed without lubrication but hey it's not my machine you're burning up 🤷🏿 so have fun.
